Kevin O’Connell Accepts Some Blame in “Random Left Arm Punch” from the Ed Ingram & Kirk Cousins Fumble

Kevin O’Connell and the rest of the coaching staff have done their best, but Ed Ingram has struggled since being a 2nd-round selection in 2022.

He transitioned from college left guard to NFL right guard, a move that’s not as easy at it sounds. The footwork is different, meaning the o-lineman is tasked with movements that won’t feel as natural. As we’ve discussed previously, Ingram struggled in pass protection. Per PFF, Ingram was responsible for 4 penalties, 11 sacks, 18 hits, and 58 pressures as a rookie.
